The irony of Gandalf arriving to my channel on time is not lost on me! Another Middle Earth Monday with the Fellowship of the Ring is upon us and it's time to paint up the mighty wizard himself. Gandalf might seem like he'd be a boring mix of greys to paint, but there's a lot you can do with different tones! Now that the Fellowship is almost all painted up, and I'll get the scenic base painted as well, it's already time to look ahead to my next series! Would you guys prefer to see the Battle Of Pelennor Fields box set painted next...or do I jump into the Journey of the Ringbearer?? Let me know below!
Check out my Battle of Osgiliath playlist right here!

Paint List:
Primers:
Chaos Black
Grey Seer (zenithal)
FAQ:Adding a light spray of Grey Seer over a full coat of black primer adds a small amount of texture to the primer which gives the contrast paint more to grip on to. It also adds light and shadows which helps define the model more.
Gandalf:
Space Wolves Grey (contrast)
Ultramarines Blue (contrast)
Guilliman Flesh (contrast)
Wyldwood (contrast)
Black Templar (contrast)

Let me know what you want to see next, Battle of Pennelor Fields set, or do I jump right into the Journey of the Ringbearer campaign and paint characters as Frodo sets out on his adventure?

Great Idea! I'd love to see how you paint the wraith/Witchking on his fellbeast

For new players in MESBG, battle companies is a very good start getting in the game. So you can maybe think about painting a battle company of your choice.

That is a fantastic comment. And very very true.

Just had a week off for a holiday. Now I'm coming back into painting with a plan, and I'll finally be finishing up my favourite Gandalf sculpt, the Rivendell Gandalf. I've also got the final fate of the Witch King to finish. Next up, painting Pelennor Fields would be a good series to do. I've still got a box 90% unbuilt. I was saving it for a get started series, but they've got the awesome Osgiliath set out now. Which I think would be a better choice as it includes scenery.

Dry brushing the model with white or ivory over the grey seer would help reduce the speckling from the rattle can and get some easy highlights.

Great tutorial. I'm a bit late to the game - I last painted mini's back in the early 2000's, with my Dark Angels army. I only recently got back into the hobby after a friend of mine started painting the MESBG miniatures himself and painted a couple of extra models for me to go on my LOTR book shelf. I bought the scenic base off eBay after my brother in law was doing a clear out of his house and found the entire fellowship unpainted, so I'm slowly working my way through. I've just finished Gandalf and moving on to Frodo and Sam next - just subscribed to your patreon while I follow along! Thanks for the great content :)

It’s never too late to paint these figures! What a great find-the whole fellowship! Once you get through this playlist let me know if there’s any other tutorials you think would be good, trying to get back to Middle Earth Mondays again soon! And thanks so much for joining the Patreon!

Don't really care what order you do them in, I'm kinda excited to see you do them all. I'll never own any of these, but I do have a bunch of the old '70's metal minis from Bakshi's film, so I get to live vicariously thru you.

Loving this series Andy. Personally I'd like to see you paint the set peices as told by the story. So the fellowship done here as they leave rivendell. Perhaps if you have the models going back slightly (I'm gunna murder the spellings here) and doing attack on weathertop, arwen on horseback carrying frodo being chased by mounted nazgul. The battle in balins tomb, battle at the bridge of kazhad dun. Amon hen and the split of the fellowship etc. Etc. Seeing you paint a wounded and dying boromir will be super sad.

Thanks so much! That’s exactly what the journey of the ringbearer would be! It’s Frodo and then Sam leaving Bag End, first encounter is Farmer Maggot 😄 I would be painting everyone they meet along the way in order! Unfortunately for you it looks like fields of pennelor has more votes so it might be coming first but I will get there!

Really loving Middle Earth Mondays! My first reaction was that you should paint up some Moria goblins and a cave troll, but on reflection, the starter boxes are probably a more appropriate starting point, just in case there are indeed people without multiple boxes of stored minis....

Thank you for the tutorial on the Fellowship of the Ring . My father is a huge fan of the books trilogy so I read it when I was 10. I'm into Fantasy, SciFi etc... since and I am 36. This series inspired me for his next birthday gift: I found the box on amazon and I will definitely paint it the way you teaches us! Quick question I wanted to ask, are you Irish or a another regional accent? I said that because I'm french, working for American Express so I'm used to talk to a lots of people from Texas and Seattle. You speak somewhat fast. This is not a bad thing because since I watch your tutorials, I have made real progress in English. (Thank you for that also)

That’s so cool what your doing for your dad. And yes I am indeed Irish. Glad it’s not to fast for you and you can understand. Thanks for the comment.

@TylerRamonCabello99 5 ай бұрын

Love the vid! Question, why not just do one prime coat of white scar or a variant of white?

@MediocreHobbies 5 ай бұрын

I like it to be a little darker and to get full coverage you need to spray a lot. So a solid coat of black for the primer and then grey to add colour.
